S weet lime (Citrus limetta L.) locally known as Mettah is extremely famous all around the globe because of its excellent nutritional and medicinal properties (Tanaka, 1994). Sweet lime has great demand during Aug-Sept due to its refreshing juice.Along with its importance in juice industry sweet lime is known for its cooling affect in problems like fever and jaundice (Kumar et al., 2020). However, growers are facing yield related problems particularly due to poor cultural practices and the use of inappropriate fertilizers. Among various factors plant nutrition is the critical factor which influence Abstract | Sweet lime has acquired great commercial importance globally particularly in juice and medical industry. However, its poor yield discourage farmers from its cultivation. Plant nutrients particularly Potassium plays critical role in growth and yield of citrus crops. Therefore, for the possible solution the current study Potassium fertilizer source and timing regulate growth, flowering and yield in trees of sweet lime (Citrus limetta L.) was conducted during the year 2019. Experiment was laid out in RCBD split plot arrangement with 2 factors and 3 replications. Potassium sources (Potassium chloride (KCl), Potassium sulfate (K 2 SO 4 ) and Potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) were applied on different dates i.e., 15 th Feb, 25 th Feb, 7 th March and 17 th March. Potassium sources and its time of application significantly affected various attributes of sweet lime. Among different sources, KNO 3 was more effective in increasing leaf chlorophyll content (46.47 mg g -1 FW), leaf area shoot -1 (135.29 cm 2 ), fruit weight (85.64 g) number of fruits tree -1 (808.75) and fruit yield tree -1 (69.48 kg). Potassium sulfate application decreased days to full bloom (33.58). Whereas the application of potassium sources on 17 th March significantly increased leaf chlorophyll content (44.31 mg g -1 FW), leaf area shoot -1 (127.95 cm 2 ), number of fruits tree -1 (739.52), fruit yield tree -1 (63.68 kg) and reduced days to full bloom (20). Hence it is recommended that KNO 3 must be applied on 17 th March (mid of March) for better growth and yield attributes of sweet lime.
